As part of our efforts to bring useful and relevant African content online, during 2011 we built election pages for both Nigeria’s presidential election and Cameroon’s general elections. We are repeating the experience this year for the upcoming presidential election in Senegal and starting a new initiative, working together withCarRapideTV, to help you keep track of elections and interact with the candidates.

We’re also excited to introduce a new initiative which usesModerator, hosted on CarRapideTV’ site.You will be able to ask questions about the candidates’ programs and policies and/or vote for questions that are relevant to you. CarRapideTV will collect the top questions, record the interviews of the candidates and finally post these on theirYouTube channelandGoogle+ page.
